Question PC only boots after switching power outlet

[datatroll]

This has been going on for a few days now. One day PC simply didn't boot and after trying a few things I eventually switched out my extension cord and it worked perfectly for the rest of the day. Next day I plugged it directly into the wall and that worked. Today it booted after I switched to yet another wall outlet, I am however back on wall outlet 1 as of writing this.

Obvious answer is that my power supply is faulty somehow (it's pretty old), however it's weird that my PC runs perfectly throughout the day otherwise. Could it be the case itself or sumn?

Perhaps the issue lies with the electrical wiring in your house? It might be worth having an electrician check it out.
How old is pretty old? What is the make and model of your power supply?

I doubt it's an electrical issue since all other devices work perfectly, even things plugged into the same extension cord (monitors etc.).
I've got a Corsair VS 650.

That's not a good PSU, perhaps replacing it is a good idea. What is your computer hardware specification?

A Intel i7-10700K CPU 3.80GHz and NVIDIA RTX 2060 super.

You mean it's not a good PSU as in it's old or?

I looked it up on the PSU list that is maintained here, https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...er-list-rev-14-8-final-update-jul-21.3624094/
It is tier D if it has a grey label or tier E if it has an orange label, which isn't good. You should consider replacing it with something on tier B or tier A.

Ok thanks for the reply! I'll get a new power supply asap
